Hymnes de la Montagne Noire sees Neige et Noirceur's mastermind Spiritus return with what is, without a doubt, his darkest and most aggressive effort to date. Largely forsaking the ambient side that made up a good part of the outfit's previous offerings in favour of more guitar-driven songs, the opus nonetheless offers the same eerie vibe fans of the band have come to expect over the years. A suffocating journey into cold and desolate landscapes. This is Raw, Hypnotic Black Metal that will appeal to fans of Paysage d'Hiver, Vinterriket and the like.
